Born Free Leap'n Lions RV Club Info & Discussion Forum

I just purchased a 1998 BF 24' RB with out a gray water holding tank nor any connecting plumbing to Black water tank. I've read the owners manual but it does not give any type of assembly instructions. I would like to do this work myself and I have the following Questions.

1) Where to find a new Gray water tank?
2) How is this tank held in place?
3) What type of hoses/connections do I need?

I have NEVER owned or operated a Motorcoach before, this is my FIRST attempt at any kind of RVing. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I called Kim at BF today and was told all tanks were not the same and that I had an odd year motorcoach where they changed designs . Anyone out there with a 1997-2000 who could snap a photo of the grey water tank and holding strap/brackets and post it here...... would be greatly appreciated.


I feel comfortable ordering a tank to fit the area, I just need to have a few ideas to mount it.

Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bill

Would help you Bill if I could, but I have a '99 RSB model & your model is different. Hope someone responds for you... good luck !

I am still puzzled by the fact that 65+ people viewed my post and no one sent a picture. All I ask for is a photo of the gray water tank mounting setup for a 1999. I would think a 2000, 2001 or any of the years just prior would be similar. I have nothing to go on and next week I plan on trying to order a tank to fit up in the space available. Charlotte.... I would also think a RSB might have a similar setup. My tank was on the drivers side rear and it is gone! I only have a black water tank, no plumbing either. I need to replace it all and would like some ideas.

I found several vendors for tanks, once I get an idea of shape/dimensions and Kim told me good plumbing techniques so I just would like to see a few photos first.

HELP please.

Can't supply you with a picture as my unit is stored right now. Sorry. You might try to P.M. Bill Hemme......

There is no plumbing for the black water tank. The toilet mounts on the floor inside the RV and drops straight into the tank. There is a pipe or hole which should be obvious which comes out of lower side of the tank and goes to your dump valve.

Here is a link to pics of the gray & black water tanks on a 2005 26' RSB:

Thank you. These may not be exactly like the original set up on my bf but they helped me a lot. Much appreciated.

I finally got my stuff together today and ordered piping, elbows and ABS Cement. I received my gray water tank in the mail today and it looks small, guess that is better than too big. I will pick up my parts by the weekend and I hope to start layout and assembly early next week. I do have to still purchase the dump valve and y-fitting. thanks all for following me along this project.

I didn't contact Bill Hemme but I did get some pictures of a unit, not exactly like mine but similar enough to give me a start. i have never before worked on DWV (drainage, waste, vent) but stuff flows down hill.

I hope I get it right.
